"Alopecia totalis is a form of hair loss in which all the hair on the scalp is lost. This condition is considered a more severe form of alopecia areata, as not only is hair lost in patches, but it is lost entirely. Alopecia totalis can affect anyone but is more common in young and middle-aged individuals."

Leo, 46 years old

Solution for alopecia totalis

Leo has been experiencing alopecia totalis since he was 25 years old and has always used wigs and false eyebrows to improve his self-esteem and appearance. However, his life took a turn two years ago when he discovered hair integration systems and products from Integral Hair, particularly the Organic Hair.

 

Complete hair loss on the entire scalp

For Leo's alopecia totalis, we designed a Total Integration System by selecting hair that best matched what Leo was looking for: short organic hair that would allow him to have a contemporary hairstyle with a slightly more classic touch compared to Mateo, who had androgenetic alopecia male. We also opted for the hair bonding technique to attach the hair system to his scalp using a hypoallergenic liquid adhesive.

We also offered him the option to restore his sparse eyebrows with natural hair eyebrows. Thanks to this, Leo has found the natural and high-quality solution he had always been searching for.
